I am also starting a new adventure with self-watering vegetable planters. I just received a ready made from amazon which will grow organic cherry tomatoes. Will be making larger self-watering containers and pots in the spring by using buried fill olla's.

@Cinnamon , you were having trouble last summer with all the heat while trying to grow your veggies. A self-watering system is the way to go with a buried fill olla. Besides, I just think this would be so you!
